Lecturer: Prof. Fred Hamprecht; Teaching Assistant: Steffen Wolf

Note: Over the semester holidays, I've had much time to think about the content that will best serve you in the future. As a result, the proposed curriculum has changed relative to an earlier version of the web page. Please make sure this is still what you are looking for.

The course is suitable for Master students as well as ambitious Bachelor students.

Computer vision is one of the few key technologies that is changing the face of our society and that will deeply impact our lives in the future. However, modern computer vision pipelines build on a wealth of quite different concepts and techniques that will leave most novices confused.

The aim of this lecture is to introduce nontrivial foundational algorithms and concepts that are used in many pipelines.
